Justin Theroux, the talented actor and writer, made an appearance on the talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” recently, and he had some interesting stories to share. One of the highlights of the show was when Theroux opened up about being pranked by his fiancée, actress Nicole, during a vacation. Theroux revealed that while surfing, Nicole got knocked in the face and broke her nose. Running home with a broken nose must have been quite an experience!
But Theroux didn’t let Nicole have all the fun. He shared a video of himself playing golf with Nicole’s stepdad and brother-in-law. Theroux confessed that he’s not much of a sports fan, but he wanted to give golf a try. The result? They lost 42 balls in just four holes! It seems that golf may not be Theroux’s strong suit.
Speaking about his new comedy series, “Running Point,” Theroux admitted that he had to do some serious research to play the role of a basketball team owner with a drug problem. As someone who doesn’t follow sports, Theroux had to learn the terminology, and it was like learning a new language for him. But he tackled the challenge like a pro and delivered a great performance.
During the show, Theroux also talked about his love for dodgeball as a kid. He revealed how dodgeball was perfect for his hyperactive nature, as it allowed him to release his energy by throwing and dodging balls. Unfortunately, dodgeball is now considered cruel and has been banned in many places due to its potential for bullying. It’s a shame because dodgeball used to be a lot of fun!
Of course, no talk show episode is complete without some surprises, and “Jimmy Kimmel Live” delivered. In honor of Valentine’s Day, Kimmel decided to make a single lady’s dreams come true. He invited an eligible single woman from the audience named Gina to join him on stage. Kimmel then introduced Theroux as the man who would make Gina’s dreams come true.
Theroux and Gina posed for a Valentine’s Day photo shoot, complete with props like baguettes and turkey legs. They had fun pretending to be a couple, but things took a hilarious turn when they staged a breakup scene. Gina stormed off stage, leaving a weeping Theroux behind. The whole segment was a roller coaster of emotions.
Overall, Theroux’s appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” was filled with laughter and entertainment. From being pranked by his fiancée to playing golf and making dreams come true on Valentine’s Day, Theroux proved once again why he is a beloved and talented actor. Fans can catch Theroux in his new comedy series, “Running Point,” premiering on Netflix on February 27th. Don’t miss it!
